I've been having trouble finding a 6 inch eye to nose closed mouth black bear rugshell. I checked McKenzie, Research, etc...no luck. Before I go through the alteration process, does anyone know of a supplier who has one?

How hard did you look? McKenzie has a 6" head in the"Cast Lip" series.This is a huge head and takes a real monster bear.If you don't want to go to the expense of the "Cast Lip" head,there is a 5 3/4" head in the Buckeye series.The 5 3/4" will work just fine on a 6" bear.1/4" on a nose to eye measurement isn't enough difference to alter.Alterations on heads with installed jawsets are a real pain as the jawset is in the way of where you need to cut for nose to eye lengthening.The same 5 3/4" head is in the "Cast lip" line.Not the difference in head widths and order accordingly.
I looked quite thoroughly and saw plenty of open mouth options. I'm quite familiar with the cast lip system as I do many of them. My request however was for a closed mouth form. Anyone know of a closed mouth 6 inch rugshell? Thanks
